Negasi and I met with Rebecca on Friday the 13th. 

We did a full run-through and it was a little bit rough. Part of the problem is that the Black Box is a major part of our scene and all of our previous rehearsals had been in common rooms so adjusting to a larger space was rough. I forgot to count how many boxes I needed to use to bring down which messed up the pacing of the scene, reminding me how crucial knowing your blocking and props are.

We received several helpful notes after our first run, the first one being that I need to maintain the intensity of the running at the beginning of the scene or else the rest of the scene will lack as much necessary energy. One of the biggest notes that Negasi and I got was that he, as a low status character for the rest of the show, needs to assert himself as the one with the higher status in this scene and I need to allow him to take it from me as the scene continues. I have to convey more that Sam is willing to do anything to make Avery not mad at him anymore and Negasi has to assert more in Avery that what he did can't simply be forgiven. 

We are excited for everyone in class to see our final product.
